Episode notes
As black people, particularly women, we often change our hair, whether it’s braids, weaves, wigs and when you do, you have to prepare for the influx of questions. But what does it feel like when you feel like you are being judged on your hair and appearance at work? When you are made to feel inadequate or made to feel like how you look is a question on your ability to do your job?
When you google “unprofessional hair” images of black people with natural hair still appears. California was the first state in the US to ban hair discrimination to protect those who wear their hair natural in the workplace and school in 2019 with Virginia the next to follow. But in the UK we still have no laws in place.
We speak to Kevin Morosky and Nicole Crenstil about what they think it means to be your true authentic self in the work place and how to overcome the anxiety that may come with it.
